I am glad to hear that MiniMyth just worked. As I no longer have an VIA 
EPIA M series board (although I still have a VIA EPIA SP series board), 
I never quite sure whether or not I have managed to keep MiniMyth 
working well on the board for which MiniMyth was originally created.

Also, I am glad to hear that someone used the documentation. I hate 
creating documentation, but I created some anyway (after some prodding).

<rant>It is too bad that the Mesa support for VIA hardware is so 
broken/fragile. Given the lack of CPU power on the VIA EPIA boards, you 
would think that VIA would want OpenGL hardware acceleration to work. 
Yet, they do not contribute to the development.</rant>
